A display of unusually fine tubers in
front of VIM. Birkle's store yesterday
attracted the attention OF q scribe.
The wonderfully large and perfect
potatoes were raised by John Packard
on his ranch In the famous Eureka
valley, and the samples were not
larger than the lot Of twenty bushels
which he had brought to market.
From MI. Wilson. Of the same fertile
spot, we learned that all the crops in
that section were splendid this year
and that Mr.. Packard's production
was not more favorable than his
neighbour.

NEGLECTED DUTIES OUR
DEAD.

Huntsville, Ala, Jan. 8, '87.
To the Editor OF The Huntsville Gazette:
Is it not noticeable and discred-
liable fact that we neglect so much
the graves of our dead n?
Ia what condition are our Gem
eteries Our beloved ones who III
life were our comfort an d consolation
as companions aud friends, how
bow soon after death are they fGr~
gotten and their graves left forsaken
and over grown with weeds and
briers?
1t sh 'uld MT be 20. Ler AS cher
ish the memory Of our beloved ones
who have crossed over Jordan, aud
show that they occupy tender spot
in our hearts by giving some atten-
ton to their graves. Let ns plant
flowers upon them, clean away the
weeds and keep them green with
pretty SC d ling. The costly tomb
stone may be beyond our reach, but
those little attentions. at little or no
expense, are better than monuments to
preserve the memory Of the departed
fresh and green. The eisity OF
their constautrepetitiou keeps always
fresh in tho memory the object Of the
tender duties.
At the beginning o. this New Year
the citizens shoull mature plan
for properly fixing up and later in
the season decorating the graves in
the cemetry. Say that. cne day be
set apart early in the spring for this
purpcs.,'' when al the schools
and all the community assemble at
the Cemetery AID set out trees,
flowers, plants ETC., sod the graves
and strew them with flowers.
Let every one contribute small
amount to help hire two or three
men to go to the cemetry and put
all the graves in order, before this
proposed Decoration day. l think
the 18th of June would be suitable
day for Decoration
However, anv day in th' proper
season, would do. | nerily suggest
the 18th of Jun. as very convenl
ent time aud time when plenty OF
flowers and Pleasant weather
abounds.
do hope thu P op!s will agree
with me on thress sacred duties we
owe the dead. and come together
and act.
